The Lip Products

Pure Shine Lip Colour Balms

Can I just say that I am absolutely crazy about the Pure Shine Lip Colour Balms? I had read on the internet that they had just launched and originally just bought one but so impressed with how they felt on the lips and the beautiful, shiny, sheer colour they delivered that I promptly went back and got four more!

(And now I wish I had bought all eight of them rather than "just" five)

They are retailing for €5.49.

From left to right I got the following colours: 070 Don't Red It!, 010 Rose & Woody, 020 Rusty in Peace, 060 Go Flamingo Go and (last but not least) 080 Sheers!

And now some swatches:

First Impression of the Pure Shine Colour Lip Balms:

I am absolutely in love with the Catrice Pure Shine Lip Colour Balms because they glide on the lips, give them a pretty yet subtle shine together with being super wearable colours. I can see myself wearing these loads and I can see the colour palette I have chosen with its colours ranging from pale peach via brown tones to a beautiful sheer red make a sealess transition into autumn.They have a very slight smell but no noticeable taste which for me is always a bonus.

And most importantly, I love how they feel on the lips keeping them soft and moisturised throughout the day!

"Simply brilliant: the new CATRICE Ultimate LipGlow – Lip Colour Intensifier not only smoothes your lips and makes them shine, it also intensifies your own personal lip color – a transparent, fresh and natural look in a truly unique color."

(after initial problems of finding one which was not damaged in the packaging - maybe sealing them would be the way forward? - I finally got lucky)

And now a swatch (bearing in mind that the colour adjusts itself to the wearer):
